………………

Daniel and Tony came back to NCIS after church. They had just been gone around 45 minutes but those 45 minutes had been more rewarding than the first few hours they had spent together. Some tension had gone away and they felt a bit more comfortable with each other. They were in the same boat now.

"So how did it go and where were you? You can't just leave like that!" Gibbs said to them. He wanted to keep an eye on them in fear of them doing something stupid which could cost their wives lives.

"Danny wanted to go to church to clear his mind and I followed." Tony stated.

"Just tell me before any of you go anywhere." Gibbs demanded.

"I just thought that Di wanted me to go there to feel better. I'm not religious but I just felt the need to go to a calm place like a church."

"So your wife is religious?" Gibbs asked. He thought it was good if he knew as much as possible about her.

"Not really but she believes in her own way, more than me anyway." Daniel answered.

"Danny why don't we try to find out more about what we talked about?" Tony suggested.

"So we're on first name basis here or even nick name basis?" McGee wondered.

"It turns out we know each other or at least we think so." Danny quickly answered.

"We just have to remember from when and where because we think that'll help us find them." Tony continued.

Gibbs reacted strongly to the news. This was the first thing he had heard about a possible connection between both couples. That both the men and females were the same ages, got married at the same day this year and both women were as far a long in their pregnancies were just co-incidents to him but this news showed that they finally might have something to go on.

"I'm so sure that they did dig in our garbage. Kate cut herself two weeks ago with a knife and we threw away the cloth she wrapped around her finger and it must be the one which was found in the woods. I wasn't home when it happened so I didn't know how the cloth looked like but that is the only explanation I can find and after hearing everything from Danny it seems so much likely it is the truth. They framed us just to get enough time to do something. Let the attention get away from them so they could work with no pressure." Tony told everyone.

…………….. At the same time………….

"It must be early morning now." Kate said to Diana.

"I'm so tired and there isn't much food left. I just hope they'll give us more but we haven't seen them since we got here." Diana stated worried.

"I know. We'll have to use them well. If we weren't pregnant than I know we could eat a lot less but now we're forced to eat and they know it." Kate said being so angry at their kidnappers.

"If I wasn't rich I know we wouldn't be here. They already got the money so I don't understand why we're still alive. Do they want to starve us to death? Do they want more money?" Diana rhetorically asked.

"It isn't because of you it is rather because of us." Kate replied.

"We've talked for days and still can't remember how we know each other so I'm starting to wonder if we have met at all. Was it something we did separately which is causing all of this?" Diana once again asked. They had been over this a few times already.

"I still think we've met. We didn't go to the same college, live in the same city or visited the same places at the same time but still we've met. Maybe we met when I've been in New York or you in Washington even if it seems unlikely but we've been over that too. We haven't met since I started at NCIS that I know." Kate continued.

"Maybe it was through a case I've worked with but I often have civil cases not criminal." Diana told her.

"We better give up because this is making us more tired." Kate said as she lay down on her bed again.

"I once dreamed about becoming a dancer but I broke my foot when I was 12 and it never fully recovered. Then I was just good at school and became a lawyer. I bought a little existing law firm so I could work whenever I wanted to because I already had the company and my charity to think about."

"I once had a concussion when I was 12. I was in the hospital but it wasn't in New York. It wasn't until I was just 18 that I knew what I wanted to be. I visited a college in Boston to see how it would be like and all I could think about was how I disliked it and wanted to become a FBI agent…" Then Kate eyes lit up and she remembered. She didn't notice when Diana started to talk.

"I visited a college in Boston and all I could think about was how I didn't want to leave New York. It was before I won the money. I met a girl who didn't want to be there either. Her name was Caitlin…" Then Diana remembered that Kate's real name was Caitlin.

"It was you!" both said at the same time.

"What has that experience to do with this?" Diana asked but both wondered about this.

"We both wanted to work with the law but difference sides of it. I remember that we both went to a party there but I can't remember much about it." Kate continued.

"Then we said goodbye and ended up here. It must be something else." Diana said.

"What could it be?"

"I know it's my fault…I didn't want to say it before but at the start of this year my charity gave money to an organisation which funded terrorists through a man who took money from the charity organisation he worked at. My charity organisation found out and stripped all the funds to the organisation and reported it to the police. It was through the police we found out he was a terrorist. Maybe NCIS worked on the case but it wasn't something I knew about." Diana said to her.

"I don't remember such a case but maybe we had that case. I'm just too hungry and tired to think straight." Kate told her. Then she touched her belly and hoped her baby was still alive.

"Me too." Diana said doing the same.

……………………….A few hours later………….

"Boss, you should get some sleep." Tony told him.

"We just found out about the case Mrs Alexanderson and Kate were involved with. We can't rest."

"There are plenty of others working on it so if you sleep for an hour it won't hurt and we'll wake you up when we find out something important." Tony stated.

"I'm still sure it isn't why they were kidnapped." Danny said to them.

"You're not a detective. We know the best." Tony snapped at him but regretted it immediately and Daniel saw that so he didn't say anything about it. They were both exhausted.

"My cousin knew an Anthony who partied a lot during college but always wanted to become a cop. I met him a few times since they went to the same college but I can't recall how he looked like. Could it be you?" Danny asked.

"Did he have a nick name?" Tony asked.

"He did…Around the clock Tony but it was shorted to…"

"AT which stood for around and Tony…We did know each other…"Tony said surprised.

"My cousin is Greg Fields. Actually he works in Washington now."

"He was my room mate but I wasn't in my room so much."

"I don't remember that he was your room mate. I only remember how dedicated you were to becoming a cop and partying. I went to a party with you and it ended up with someone being shot. I never saw you again." Danny continued.

"A drunken guy wanted to kill himself and talked him out of it when he changed his mind again. I tried to stop him and we struggled and he shot himself in the stomach but he fully recovered. After that I didn't party as much but I still partied but became more dedicated to become a cop." Tony told him.

"It made me want to have a safe job. I never thanked you for changing my mind about becoming a police man. That's why I visited my cousin so much because you knew so much about it and you liked to party. Seeing what happened changed my life."

"You saw it? I didn't know that."

"I've never told anyone about it because I didn't want to get involved. There were plenty of other witnesses there so one less wouldn't hurt. Do you know what happened to the guy? Is he doing alright?" Daniel asked.

"He changed his major and became a doctor. I don't think he is after us…Are you sure we haven't met after that? Have you ever been to Baltimore?" Tony said to him.

"I have. Greg lived there until he moved to Washington last year. My car got stolen there once and I reported it. It was later used in a robbery before it got burned up. My description of one of the men who took my car helped them get the robbers but that was years ago." Daniel said a bit shocked.

"I lost contact with Greg years ago so I didn't know that." Tony stated a bit shocked.

"I bet that Tony was the one investigating the crime. There are so many co-incidents in this case that I'm not surprised if we'll find some more like those who stole your car is taking revenge on you and the investigator. People learn a lot when they're in prison." Gibbs said to them.
